Trans High Atlas Mountains Cycle

Unfortunately this trip has been canceled due to lack of participants. However, the funds raised have been transferred to the even more challenging cycle trip of Land's End to John O'Groats, taking place on May 4th to May 16th 2010.

In the words of the team at Discover Adventure, Tara's dad's sponsored challenge to raise money for King's College Hospital has a trip grade of 'tough' - he will cycle through the foothills and over the High Atlas Mountains into the spectacular, remote and colourful Anti Atlas mountains. The challenge takes place between May 15th and May 23rd 2010.
